[IxDA Discuss] Common design mistakes?

I often see young designers producing drawings that don't do a good job of
managing state. You'll see a drawing in which objects can change state, but
the states have not been clearly considered.

This is most common when drawings contain more than one multi-state object,
and especially common when there are complex dependencies.

I will add that this mistake is not limited to junior designers. Experienced
designers make this mistake all the time too--but are perhaps a little
better at catching it.
